La période carolingienne au travers des recherches archéologiques en Belgique du XIXe siècle à nos jours

Abstract

The Carolingian Period as Seen Through Archaeological Research in Belgium, from the 19th Century Onwards. Far from claiming to provide an exhaustive inventory of archaeological discoveries on the Carolingian period, we discuss the major milestones of archaeological research in Belgium since the mid-19th century. Archaeologists have long considered this period not to be part of their domain. Since the 1980s, with the implementation of preventive archaeology on open spaces over large areas, archaeologists have been able to collect data that now enable us to sketch the living environment of a dynamic society, both rural and urban.
